    WHAT? :confused: How could it be "right" to have all those reasons, what??

    It's NOT tricky. Know the difference... PERIOD.
    It's a typo, YES, I agree... because you meant to say "it must be right. :eek:

    Your poor excuse is excused, what.

    It's clearly a spelling error. As others have pointed out, the speaker is using the context correctly, they are just spelling it wrong.

    OP, rephrased: "is it wrong because it is wrong, or only if I feel it is wrong?"

    In before D&D.

    how do you know they're using it correctly? They could easily be thinking that the 2 words have opposite uses. And they could believe they're using the correctly spelled word.

    This is a very important question. Everyone, write to your congressman so we can get a commission to investigate the matter thoroughly.
